    Hi Ham,
     
    ham:
    "I'm not sure what you mean by denying that the "world runs" on a single
    truth. If ultimate reality is the cause of your world, then it represents a
    truth."

    That's true. That's true. The MoQ agrees with that. What I'm referring to are truths that come after the creation of static quality. Truths are then understood as those things with high quality.
     
    ham:
    "F what I understand of MOQ, it does not support a primary source. You folks
    have shown Quality to be empirical -- something requiring an observer to
    perceive."
     
    That's true, but that doesn't mean Qality requires an observer to EXIST.
     
    ham:
    "Richard, if you can show me where Mr. Pirsig says he believes in a primary
    source, I'll stand corrected. So far, I've not found it."

    I believe he says this in many places throughout Lila and ZMM. He also says in SODV, near the end I think, that Quality is the source of subjects and objects, not the other way around as is commonly believed. This Quality is the primary source.
    Rich
